Zermatt: Summer skiing all the way to Italy

There are first-class winter sport opportunities 365 days a year for pure enjoyment at the Zermatt-Matterhorn resort. Summer skiing makes for a unique experience. It kicks off first thing in the morning with a cable car ride to the highest ski region in the Alps, 3,883 metres above sea level – including a wonderful view of the Matterhorn. As of this coming weekend from Saturday 29th on, the summer ski region at the Rosa Plateau in Zermatt will be linked to Italy‘s Cervinia slopes.

The first cable car on Saturday will set off as early as 6.30 a.m. This experience is unique to Zermatt - nowhere else in the world is it possible to ski in two countries (Switzerland and Italy) in the summertime.
